Note that, for most model similar to this v3700 (AMD) model which using nvidia chipset driver, the LAN/Ethernet driver will installed along with the chipset driver installation. If there are problems installing the drivers, leave your comments.

Normally Quantum series use Conextant or Relatek Audio Driver, and there are 2 types of conextant which is venice (5041, there are many version of it) and ac link 97 which commonly and widely in year 2009 till now. So again you need to test which work. If no success, Then I need you to get me the hardware ID for the sound and post it here. to get the hardware ID you can refer my tutorial here: http://laptop-driver.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-check-hardware-id.html

Note that this driver file is small (about 30kb), but it contain no auto installation file. You need to manually install from device manager. For those who didn't know how to manually install it use the driver above. (i give this one in because the size is smaller and you can download it faster)

I write this post to give some information and drivers for ACER user who migrating or use windows 7, but cannot use or install webcam. So beside my recommendation, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

So my idea is this:

- There are no official windows 7 driver for some ACER laptop model. So base on my experience one driver can be use with other model. Example we have webcam driver for Acer Aspire 4740G and it also work with Acer Aspire 4745.

Notice that sometime ACER provide more then 2 driver software for webcam. Suyin and Chicony is the most famous. Base on my experience with Acer aspire 4520 and 4530, both driver worked.

What i always did for people or person from tech support who asking for my help, (personally visited me) is by using the original vista driver. Go to acer support site, download the vista driver and install using compatibility mode.

COMPATIBILITY INSTALLATION:

1. Download the vista driver.

2. Extract and right click on setup file and select PROPERTIES.

3. Select Compatibility tab.

4. Select "run this program in compatibility mode for"

5. select windows vista. APPLY and CLOSE

6. Right click again on the drivers and select run as admin.

7 After the installation finish (if successful) right click on the shortcut and select run as admin.

8. If failed, right click on the shortcut - properties and compatibility - set to windows vista.

If you cannot find your vista drivers ,

leave your comment with your model, ill try to assist as much as i can, you can also try your xp driver (i never test webcam yet but for wireless i found some of them work just fine)

Sometimes, we have a hard time with this kind of problem and this also happened to me, even with all the experience i have (5 years), sometime i have to spent weeks for test with many version of the drivers. There are a case where no success for 2 week and i just reinstall the GRAPHIC/VGA driver (i uninstall it to teach someone to install graphic driver). After that the webcam driver installation success... feel bad is it? u just need to reinstall the graphic so that u can install the webcam.

give your feedback in comment section below, it could help others too.

The drivers below are my initial suggestion for this model. There are no official release for windows 7 but some of them automatically installed along with windows 7. It is strongly recomend to install Windows 7 ULTIMATE.

NOTE: several driver installed automatically after windows 7 installation such as wireless, so you dont have to install the driver. Run automatic updates first to see any update for your drivers.

CQ56 model equip with different wifi devices, so choose base on your specs, If you confuse what wireless device your laptop have, try Install and see which work for you, installing wrong driver will not harm your system.

Thi s is my initial suggestion for this model, if you have problems leave your comments. The drivers selected base on the laptop specifications.

P/s: I would like apologize to all of you about the wireless driver, you see there are 3 applicable wireless where the Atheros wireless download link is not for Atheros but broadcom. So, the link fixed and sorry for the wrong link =)
